You know you can blame both Trump and China for covid right? It's not a binary thing. Plus Republicans only blame China. While Democrats blame both.

Exhibit A of my quoted statement. They are simping Trump to own China.

According to your logic that's not possible. Hence why you think if 90% of Americans are anti-China, you think Biden would go further than Trump.

My comment on that post, which is upvoted significantly. Perhaps sanity on r/geopolitics is not totally lost.
I said Biden will be equally hawkish. Just more sophisticated in containing China. Instead of rage tweeting China flu at 2am in the morning. Biden will organize Japan and SK and India to contain China.
Pardon me If my comment is generalizing too much, I am very frustrated with r/geopolitics right now.

South Korea is the least likely (virtually 0% chance) to join such an alliance. Hell, Germany is more likely to join an anti-China alliance than South Korea. Especially with the left-leaning pro-China Democratic Party with President Moon at the helm.

Oh you mean like Obama with the Pivot to Asia that failed? What's the difference when they would be facing the same consequences which why it failed, COVID-19 or not? Why didn't they ganged up and do this long ago?

Oh yeah don't get me wrong, the comments are still infested with Trumpsters and Hindutva trolls. But lmao, I was expecting to get heavily downvoted, which I haven't yet at least.
Whether they join and how much they put in depends on whether the USA can help there current Economies to recover from both covid and the current levels of unemployment going around. If Biden cannot solve the fact that the USA have over 60+ Million unemployed (this is real figures, not the parent numbers from the media), then what can he really offer this nations in terms of benefit other then dollars/treasuries which are not going to be of much value when they cannot be used for anything much sooner or later when the value decreases further.
I guess they underestimate the threat of China and then is why they didn’t commit fully back then, but now for them to commit when China is the nation that can help there recoveries more then the USA (consider the amount of trade deals going on in South America and Africa for example) isn’t going to be very productive since the USA market is propped up to the extreme with a bubble so massive that if it popped will screw there markets up a lot. Also note that the USA now has a reputation of pulling out of deals and doing what ever they want consequences be damned.
so even a Biden will is not an insurance that they will commit to a deal since they are know for targeting anyone that defies them. Biden has to win there trust back after what Trump did and just being anti China alone isn’t going to cut it this time. Especially when the USA is such an untrustworthy nation going forward
